I call this version "Around the World" and it requires the exact same set up as "Circle of Death".
As always, it's a good idea to have plenty of print outs of the rules for the participants and a full deck of cards with jokers.
Around the
World Grammar Game
Rules:
Sit in a circle, each player draws a card
and completes the corresponding action one at a time.
Evens – Questions on the right
Odds – Questions on the left
Correct answer = +5 points
Incorrect answer = - 5 points
2's : Ask a
question to the person on your right using a “do”
3's : Ask a
question to the person on your left using “to be” .
4's : Ask a
question to the person on your right using “did”.
5's : Ask a
question to the person on your left using “was” or “were”.
6's : Ask a
question to the person on your right using the future tense.
7's : Ask a
question to the person on your left using “if”.
8's : Ask a
question of your choice to the person of your choice.
(Now for some fun..)
9's : You
are the rule master. You can make any rule for the table to follow. You get 10
points.
10's : Stand
up and mime an animal. The first person to guess correctly gets 10 points.
Jacks : “Categories”
– Choose a category and each player must say a word in the category. The first
player who can't think of a word in the category loses 10 points.
Queens: “7's”
: Going in a circle, each player must count by 7 (7..14..21..etc) and the first
player to make a mistake loses 10 points.
Kings: “Truth?”
Ask the player of your choice a truthful question. (+5 for asking correctly and +5 for answering correctly)
Aces: The
teacher makes a rule for all of the players to follow. (points vary depending on the rule)
Joker: You
can choose to add ten points to your score or to subtract ten points from the
player of your choice.
Good idea, thanks. Yes, card games are great; anything that removes the teacher from the equation. I'll use this next week. I'm just going to notate the card faces with a sharpie (do, be, can, have...) to simplify it. Playing cards are cheap.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! There's a more challenging version that I posted about called "Circle of Death" which is geared more towards my upper-intermediate/advanced students which is why I don't write on my cards. Would love to hear how it goes for you!
